The capacitance of an air-filled parallel plate capacitor is $10 \, pF$. The separation between the plates is doubled and the space between the plates is then filled with wax,giving the capacitance a new value of $40 \times 10^{-12} \, F$. The dielectric constant of wax is:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor having capacity $C_0$ is charged to $V_0$. With the battery disconnected,if the separation between the plates is doubled,then the energy stored in it is $E_1$. Instead,if the separation between the plates is doubled with the battery in connection,the energy stored in it is $E_2$. Then the value of $\frac{E_2}{E_1}$ is
